Gameplay:
After a couple of levels, the game still keeps its fun loving spirit. I enjoyed the riding on the animals in the game. That was fun, especially when you get the marlin friend to ride on. I never had so much fun under the sea. The marlin attacks everything under water with a high speed ram with its spear like nose. Also there’s a rhino friend as wells a giant spider. Riding on such creatures is really cool. Each one helps getting past the obstacles and the enemies that are tough. The rhino just rams them and the spider blasts them with web blasts kind of like spider man. Plus if reach a certain check point with them still alive you receive an extra life which is always a good thing in a game. At the end of each level you also have another opportunity to receive another life or better. You can receive a token in which you can spend on games or tips about the game. By hitting the target at the right time at the end of the game you can receive such a wonderful gift or just bananas.
Design:
Playing as a Diddy and Dixie was fun. The platformer elements were fun to do. Having a special animal help in certain situations made it more enjoyable. The rhino goes thru everything, the spider shoots things, and you swim better with the marlin. The animals improved the gameplay and made it seem like you were invulnerable or just had an additional hit point in which it will take longer for you to die. Throwing crates and barrels were great weapons to use; you may even get bananas in the broken crates. It gives the player more of an incentive to break them instead of just leaving them be. The “Helicopter Hair” that Dixie has makes it easier to reach places. In certain areas this helps because there maybe a coin in a corner that a normal jump may not reach. Using Dixie’s hair you can easily make it without dieing at all. The tokens in the game were annoying to have. Retrieving them was fun but I’d rather spend them on better stuff instead of information, an airplane in which I can travel between areas, or a how much do you know the game quiz. Overall it is enjoyable, fun times you can have in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong quest.

Summary
Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest for the SNES is a platformer. You play as Diddy Kong and his girlfriend Dixie Kong in a tag-team attacking style in which you can hurl each other at enemies. Also they each one a certain characteristic that can help get across a problem.
Gameplay:
Starting off as Diddy on a giant Spanish Galleon setting was bizarre bur a lot of fun. The crocodile enemies just roam for easy kill and rats just run at you. It’s a lot of fun to make Diddy do his “Barrel Roll” attack to destroy the enemies. Playing as his girlfriend, Dixie attacks with her hair. Also if you use it in the air it performs like a helicopter which keeps you in the air for a longer time. This was very helpful to find out about. I died numerous times because I couldn’t make a jump or I would jump right into a flying wasp. The bonus levels ARE REALLY REALLY FUN! Finding the coin or destroy all the enemies in a certain amount of time is a lot of fun to do. My favorite one is where you need to jump into the barrels with characters face that you are currently playing to get to the top. Both characters have a different route but it’s a lot of fun to do. Actually just hurling your partner in the barrels and see a chain reaction of barrels is pretty cool to see.
